War 2 Faces Box Office Challenges, YRF Refunds ₹22 Crore in Andhra Pradesh & Telangana
The highly anticipated action thriller, War 2, appears to be facing an uphill battle in the Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Reports indicate that Yash Raj Films (YRF) has refunded a significant sum of ₹22 crore to distributor Naga Vamsi due to the film’s underwhelming performance.
War 2’s Disappointing Run Leads to Distributor Refund
The film’s struggles at the box office have led to substantial losses for distributors in the region. This prompted YRF to step in and offer the substantial refund to Naga Vamsi, acknowledging the film’s unexpected underperformance.
What This Means for War 2’s Overall Performance
While the film may be performing well in other regions, the losses in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana highlight the challenges of capturing a pan-Indian audience. The refund by YRF suggests a recognition of the distributor’s predicament and raises questions about the film’s overall profitability.
